“纹”，可以是人类远古至今的文脉留痕，也可以是自然万象的岁月烙印，更可以是人类思想火花的显性胎记。“纹”，横梗于东西，纵贯于古今，并不以国家、种族、地域、时间轴为分野，它是维系着、切换着这个星球的纽带，时而显性，时而隐性，用如人饮水或出其不意的方式提醒我们它的存在。以“纹”为出发点，涵盖不同设计专业，从最传统的基底里挖掘现代设计可用的元素和语言，回到历史中去寻找真正超越性的、进步的思想，在东西方地域和古今时限中去发现这始终顺畅穿越的“第六元素”。

本次展览是上海设计学院“中欧5+1联合创作国际工作坊”项目的成果，来自英国南安普顿索兰特大学、德国汉堡美术学院、荷兰海牙大学、爱尔兰科克理工学院克劳福德艺术与设计学院、法国里尔E-artsup学院的10名学生和来自中国美术学院上海设计学院的10名同学一起，进行了为期3个月的共同学习和创作。

创作营采取三段式教学架构。第一段是对中国传统文化的了解与感知，邀请多名专家教授，以不同的主题跟学生分享与中国特色传统文化相关联的知识，涉及的方面有中国书法与篆刻、中国传统扎染、中国传统造物与产品设计等；第二段是有组织的进行中国本土文化的实地特色考察；第三段是中外团队围绕本次主题“纹”进行共同创作。创作营的同学们结合自己的专业特点，采用了多种形式与手法，表达了他们对东方与西方、传统与现代、民俗与艺术、时间与空间、生命与死亡等议题的思考。

"WEN"|a Chinese character| means pattern| texture and has the same pronunciation with culture and language in Chinese. It can be seen as the cultural heritages handed down by human ancestors from ancient times| the imprints of nature inthe past| and the obvious evidence of human advances in thinking."WEN"| cross-crossing in the world| connects space and time. It isnot determined by nation| race| region or timeline. The world we are living in has been connected and changed through it. Sometimes it is visible| while sometimes is invisible| reminding us of its existence naturally orsurprisingly. Based on the connotation of "WEN"| covering a varietyof fields in design| we will start an exploration on elements usable for modern design from the origins of tradition. During the fancy journey| we may travel back to the old days searching those transcendent and advanced thoughts and the sixth element" existing through out the universe from the past to present|in both eastern and western world.

This exhibition is the result of the project "5+1 Fancy Thinking" Creation Camp. There are 10 students from CAA Shanghai institute of Design working together with 10 students from European universities| which including Southampton Solent University| University of Fine Arts of Hamburg(HFBK-Hamburg)| The Hague University of Applied Science| CIT Crawford Collegeof Art & Design and E-artsup Lille.

Three-stage teaching structure is set up in the creative camp. The first stage is the understanding and perception of Chinese traditional culture.Many experts and professors were invited to share their interestsin various areas| which involved Chinese calligraphy and seal cutting| Chinese traditional tie dye| Chinese traditional handcraft product design. The second stageisto investigate the local culture of China. The third stage is that the Chinese and foreign team created together on "WEN". Combining their professional characteristics| using a variety of formsand techniques| the students of creation camp expressed their thinking about issues of East and West| traditional and modern| folklore and art| time and space|life and death.
